WhatsApp introduced a new update, through which users’ friends will be able to see everything on a smartphone or laptop screen.
The “Screen Share” update will enable users to show friends snippets from websites they are browsing, documents they are working on, or how to access features on a device.
The new feature will be similar to functions on Zoom and Google Meet.
WhatsApp said: “Whether sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation or shopping online with friends, or just helping grandparents with tech support – screen sharing lets you share a live view of your screen during the call.”
Once the new update is available, users will see a “Share” icon in the app.
However, users will have the option to share a specific application or their entire screen.
The new feature followed WhatsApp’s new Instant Video Message tool that lets people record 60-second movies which can then be shared right from the app.
The platform noted: “Voice messages on WhatsApp changed the way people communicate by providing a quick and secure way to share your voice.”
“We’re excited to build on this feature with new instant video messages. Now you can record and share short personal videos directly in the chat.”
